Spreading the love
I really have no excuses for being away…just tres busy here at Casa de Kemp. I have a little secret that has involved a lot of work the last couple of weeks. No…I can’t tell you…yet. I’ll just say it’s a good thing and absolutely nothing to worry about.
I also had company for the holiday weekend. My little sister Erica came to town and FINALLY
asked me to teach her to knit. Turns out, she is quite the prodigy…caught on quickly and is already pretty fast. I think it’s from already knowing how to crochet and immediately learning the continental method (or it could just be she has an excellent teacher??? :rofl:). She agreed that the picking of the yarn with the continental style reminds her of crochet. She has been practicing at home and already sent me an updated picture of her work! Her first project is going to be a scarf with yarn she picked out while she was here and I can’t wait to see it. I’m sure pictures will be coming. For now, behold the teaching process!

Yay! Good job on recruiting another knitter.
Hey there big sis! Thanks for the props on your blog. I do have the best teacher! The practice project is complete with 3 colors of yarn. Can’t wait to start my scarf, should be this week. Of course I will send pictures. Miss you already!
Love ya,
Erica
WTG…yarn pusher/teacher!!! Gotta love that! Looks like Erica is gonna love knitting, too!
[...] My dear sister is making some serious knitting progress! I taught her to knit over labor day and sent her home with some yarn and a pair of my Denise’s. She just sent me an update. Is it just me or is she a knitting genius? I showed her the knit stitch, she practiced for about an hour went home and with no further guidance is churning out a beautiful first scarf. Trust me, I zoomed in hard on those pics and her stitches are all nice and even and perfect! The only thing that’s bothering me is that it’s taking this long. I’m was hoping to get her totally addicted and this pace makes me think she’s not quite there yet. [...]
